There are attempts at it, Shards looks interesting. But there's no NA publishers willing to put down a lot of money to do it, so the sandbox projects are small and niche. Not sure why Korea specializes in them, maybe the insular and less toxic community makes them better, whereas here like in Archeage it seems to be a race of which guild can destroy the server the fastest.

AA has done some good stuff the last few patches, it's a shame it couldn't have launched with 2.0 and forward. Hopefully BDO does well in the West so it can fund further development.

So, there is going to be 5 total castles for all of NA? Forget about ever owning one, there will probably be 10 super tryhard sperg guilds fighting over them.

After reaching out to Daum about the costume prices in the Black Desert Online shop, the team has responded. Overall costume prices will be reduced ~10% from $32 to $29. Costume sales will continue throughout the head start period and into launch with the development team keeping a close eye on community reaction and will assess feedback received. Adjustments will be made as necessary.

I like the theory that they only reduced them to $29 so that costumes are no longer more expensive than the game.

So MMORPG was right, except it's worse because the functional costumes like ghilli will still be 3200 pearls and the rest down to 2900, 2500 on sale at launch.

I guess the biggest drawback for them is sieges and the gap where they will be underpowered. Oh well 6 hours left and I still can't decide on a quest, at least alts are basically mandatory for energy and logistics.

Well one of the things BDO can't do that AA can is naval combat! But they are diff games, AA is all questing for levels to 50 and BDO is opposite, quests outside of the main line just give area influence. Where this game will shine is supposedly endgame pvp, which we won't see for a bit.

Well i've claimed my pet and items on Edan so fantastic. They haven't actually come since that system is hosed up too and they got sent to someone else, maybe their fix will be to reset the claiming.

Except people on Edan right now were the people that went to the place they were supposed to go, they have no reason to help us at all. It's the people on Orwen that got screwed and will theoretically be able to transfer or re-claim items.

Do we know if character transfer will be for a character or for a family? Need to make alts but don't want to end up having to transfer them separately to Orwen if need be.

I have no clue how the hell people bumrushed to 50 in 15 hours... I've been grinding most of today and had to pass out at 32. Getting too old for this poo poo.

It was funny to see a guy level 50 with less energy than my level 17 because he doesn't have any knowledge. I guess I will hope I can get transferred off to Orwen at some point then because the claimed items are still up in the air and I really don't want to start from scratch. Really enjoying the Sorc though, started to click around level 17.

They have an announcement posted about all the issues. Basically character deletion time reduced to 10 seconds and name swaps can be requested for the March 30th maint lol. Preorder items not delivered have had their claim reset.

No transfers, they can't do them. Since I have other friends on Orwen and none on Edan, looks like it's reroll time :(

Will I be able to pay for a transfer from Edan to Orwen? I didn't want to reroll yesterday since I claimed stuff but now that was all reset so i guess i'll reroll unless i can throw :10bux: at a transfer?

Judging by their post, they don't even have the ability to character transfer. Name swaps aren't even promised to happen for a month. That's why I am just rerolling.

After taking my time and watching the power levelers on twitch, I really don't see the point of it unless it's a minigame to you like it is to kalstroms. Your character is still going to have to backtrack and do quests and talk to npc's our it will forever be gimped on energy and contribution.

Sorry, I was honestly just trying to give advice because this game is different than most wrt power leveling. My sensibilities were shocked by the sailor mouth response and I lashed out.

Play how you like, friend, and please join us on Orwen. I'm not even in the guild and probably won't be let in on account of declaring Lewtt my eternal nemesis for making me reroll an insignificant character.

Anyone else having an issue where for some reason, no keys are bound to your character? I just finished the first cutscene and its telling me to push the <> key to move forward(supposed to be W) and the key grid that supposed to show WASD next to my character is blank. I tried creating another character of a different class and it seems fine. Any clues? I flat out cant even start the first quest with the character I intend to be my main.

just a bug, i had that happen to my char and i relogged and it was fine.

I was as skeptical as anyone for this game. I have been playing it hardcore since Sunday and I am level...29. Not because it's hard to level, no, I could go get 4-5 levels tonight in moderate playtime. You just get caught up in the world, the life quests, crafting, fishing with goons. It is an incredibly immersive world and the combat is fun. I don't know what the endgame will be, but am having a great time right now.

No, those are just channels. You can swap between them every 30 mins. Ideally you would enter the game on the home channel of your guild, but can always swap.
